General Questions about Corada WorkGroups

FAQ: What are "Corada WorkGroups?"

This is a new and exciting feature within the Corada WorkSpace that allows users to create "WorkGroups" to use individually; or, users can invite staff, project team members, colleagues, and clients to join and collaborate. Premium-level subscribers may create up to 3 WorkGroups and Accessibility Specialist-level subscribers may create up to 12 WorkGroups. (Coming soon, users will also be able to add even more WorkGroups for a nominal fee.) But users may be a member of an unlimited number of WorkGroups.

Benefits of using Corada WorkGroups:

• WorkGroup content is integrated with Corada’s existing database of other accessibility-related material, so users’ content will be in context with applicable federal standards, regulations, technical assistance materials and all of the other relevant content on Corada. 

• Though WorkGroup content is integrated into Corada’s existing content (and also Corada’s search results), it is ONLY seen by the members of the WorkGroup; and is kept completely confidential. Content may be marked so that it can be seen by other Corada users and the general public, however, by editing the 'privacy' settings.

• WorkGroup content is consolidated, organized, dynamic and interactive (versus a FTP or “file dump” site).

• If allowed by WorkGroup Admin, users may upload, tag and discuss virtually any type of content.

• Provides easy, 24-7 online access to all project-related content and ADA information in real-time.

• WorkGroups does not require special software or specific devices to use; and may be used from any device, anywhere with an internet connection and a browser

• Provides instant access to relevant resources for users who don’t understand ADA obligations, how to measure, etc

• Provides real-time communication with a project team, staff or clients, with instant updates, notifications and the ability to see all WorkGroup activity

• Provides a consolidated, Member-only location in Corada Voices for comments and discussions, so everyone in the WorkGroup has access to and benefits from the conversation

• WorkGroup Admins may elect to have the experienced, Corada data-entry team input content and tag with keywords and relevant ADA references for an additional fee (Contact Us!)

• WorkGroup Admins may invite an unlimited number of people to join their WorkGroup. Those invited do not have to be a current subscriber, but will be prompted to either sign up, login, upgrade or decline if they do not wish to participate. If a WorkGroup Admin has a large number of people to invite, the Corada staff can create batch invitations using the Admin's spreadsheet of names and email addresses (Contact Us!)

• WorkGroup Admins may independently modify settings, privacy, users, permissions and content from any device at any time (with a browser and an internet connection)

FAQ: Are Corada WorkGroups private?

Yes! Absolutely.

Though a WorkGroup's content is integrated within Corada's existing database of other accessibility-related material, only WorkGroup members may see WorkGroup-specific content and activity. Members must be invited by a WorkGroup's Owner or Admin to join. Non-members, other Corada users and the general public do NOT have access to WorkGroup content and activity.
